On January 27th, the action movie "Crazy Dad" starring Yue Song premiered online.
Generally speaking, even major Internet movies have a promotion period, but "Crazy Dad" was scheduled to be released on January 18th and will be released in less than 10 days. There is no time to promote it, and the platform does not even recommend it.
Fortunately, Yue Song has gained a certain reputation among action movie fans in recent years, and "Crazy Dad" briefly topped the soaring list.
cost only 5 million. It ranked first on the list as soon as it was released. Yue Song became the king of action movies and exploded?
Yue Song is not well-known, but he has a certain influence among action movie fans, and it is still very limited.
has been insisting on directing, acting, and writing action movies over the years, and even produces most of the works by itself. It can be said that it is all done by itself. Unfortunately, "The God of War Incident", " Street King ", " Super Bodyguard " and " Iron Armor" Movies such as "Monkey: Desperate Thunder " did not have a good box office reputation. The best-performing "Super Bodyguard" invited stars such as Zou Zhaolong, Chen Huimin, and Shi Yanneng to star. The box office was only 5.5 million. After
, Yue Song began to transform into a major online photographer, but unfortunately the popularity was not too high.
This "Crazy Dad" actually started filming in 2021, and then was hidden for some unknown reason for three years before being released to the audience.
The movie took the first place on the soaring list on the first day it was released, but was pushed to second place the next day. According to online reports, the production cost of this film was around 5 million. To win the first place in the premiere is not to make up for the pressure. movie, the quality of the movie has also improved. Compared with the silent success of the first two movies, fans thought that Yue Song finally caught the action movie king this time.
But the movie’s first-day box office results were embarrassing again.
According to website data, the box office of "Crazy Dad" on the first day was only 48,000. It is predicted that the final box office will not exceed one million. Of course, if the quality of the movie is excellent and the reputation of "Crazy Dad" is fermented during the two days of the weekend, "Crazy Dad" may still have another Hope of counterattack.
But after watching the movie, I feel that this is unlikely.
Good kung fu does not necessarily mean a good actor. The production of "Crazy Dad" was too rough.
Yue Song himself is an actor with polarizing reputations. As much as fans of hardcore action movies like him, there will be as many bad reviews from ordinary viewers as he does.
Generally speaking, Yue Song's action scenes are really exciting, but as an actor Yue Song is completely unqualified. Especially Yue Song likes to do everything. The director, screenwriter, starring, and action designers are all responsible for it, but a good movie can only be outstanding. The action scenes are not good.
"Crazy Dad" is a typical Yue Song-style action movie.
The plot of the movie is extremely cliche.
Chen Feng, played by Yue Song, was once a legendary boxing champion and known as a madman in the boxing world. However, because he stood up for his younger brother and had a street fight with another boxer, he was directly given a box lunch. Therefore, Chen Feng was imprisoned for 12 years. Of course this The film is not Prison Storm .
As soon as the camera turned, Chen Feng was released from prison. He had no life skills and could only work as a security guard in a bar.
In the past 12 years, my younger brother has opened a boxing gym and is doing pretty well.
His wife and her daughter remarried to Chen Feng's cousin. This cousin had been supported by Chen Feng since he was a child, but he was weak but was good at studying. While Chen Feng was in prison, his cousin not only rose to prominence, but also successfully won the heart of his sister-in-law.
Chen Feng felt shameless and could only squat in front of his daughter's aristocratic school every day, hoping to watch his daughter from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the ex-wife, who is now my sister-in-law, saw her. Out of various good intentions, the ex-wife insisted that her daughter recognize her biological father Chen Feng, saying that it would stop Chen Feng from being decadent. Her daughter is a boxing fan and has idolized strong men since she was a child. He naturally despises Chen Feng.
The younger brother of the boxer who was beaten to death by Chen Feng 12 years ago also came to visit. This younger brother originally studied painting. He wanted to avenge his brother's death, so he switched to boxing and became a boxing champion. This time in front of his daughter She provoked Chen Feng in front of him and even humiliated Chen Feng, which made her daughter even more disgusted with Chen Feng.
After returning home, Chen Feng became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he ran back to sign a life and death certificate with his little brother.
duel in a month. If you lose and get beaten to death, you have nothing to say. If you win, the little brother will apologize to Chen Feng's daughter.
Chen Feng began his counterattack.
It can be seen that this kind of plot is really useless, the whole story is a running story, and the picture is still very dim. I even doubt whether the crew has professional photography and editing. The whole movie looks extremely stiff, let alone the acting skills. The member's face was paralyzed. For ordinary viewers, it is good to be able to hold on for 20 minutes.
As the audience commented, except for the action scenes, all the writing and production in Yue Song's movies are too poor.
caused the audience to leave without being able to hold on to the action scenes.
In addition, Yue Song is good at action scenes, but his ability as a director and screenwriter is not as good as AI. "Crazy Dad" was filmed in the same mode as the previous "King of the Streets". Both of them involved a male protagonist who accidentally injured someone and was released from prison to atone for his sins. Yue Song also returned He likes to act in dramas of bitterness, and often lets himself do scenes of being bullied. However, Yue Song's acting skills are another problem. The way he expresses himself is that his face is paralyzed, he doesn't speak, and he looks like he's having a big head.
After the counterattack, the character design is too superhero-like.
Chen Feng from "Crazy Dad" spent 12 years in prison, but he defeated the boxing champion within a month of training. After that, he was hit by a car and fought with dozens of thugs. Why would he work as a security guard with such fighting ability? , go save the earth.
The highlight of the movie is the action scenes.
Although the lack of good action guidance means that the action scenes in this film are not very flashy, the film is basically a combat style in terms of punching and punching, which is why fans of hardcore action movies are so popular.
But I still say the same thing, a movie is a movie, and the plot and action must be exciting and beautiful to be a good work.
It is commendable that Yue Song has always insisted on making action movies, but it is puzzling that his ability to make movies has not improved over the years.
I hope Yue Song will be more mature. After all, he is almost 40 years old. He still needs to make a classic action movie in his prime.
